Bob Dylan Sex Abuse Allegation

When the stuff came out about Placido Domingo, I remember thinking, if that was the fundamental reason he got into music, he's in the wrong genre. There doesn't seem to be a groupie scene around opera, so he ends up making unwelcome advances to his co-stars...

You always felt there was something dodgy about him and he as always struck you as a strange character hiding something. Ok these comments are showing you up as someone that know absolutely nothing about Bob Dylan except a passing glance on TV 2 or 3 times in your life. Dylan is a strange character and has always behaved like he was hiding something, especially when talking to the press. I'll educate you seen as you clearly have no idea what you are dealing with. Bob Dylan is a musical and poetic genius, now this is recognised globally by fans and people who are not fans but know anything about music. Awarded the Nobel prize for literature, this is extremely rare for a popular musician to get this award and only the second time in over 160 years. Dylan’s lyrical output rewards thorough exploration like no other artist of the last 100 years, his influence on writers, songwriters and poets means, like him or not (and many justifiably choose the latter course such as yourself) he is a major figure in the history of the written word, comparable in many ways to his fellow singer-guitarist James Joyce. But then Joyce never won a Nobel Prize. Now by all means discuss the accusations at hand but please keep your ill informed ignorant character judgements to yourself.

Hiding something from the press? Why would he ever do that I wonder??

If the accuser tries to defend getting the dates wrong because it was five and a half decades ago Dylans defence lawyers will go to town on her.

An interesting point to note about Chuck Berry, Elvis, Jerry Lee Lewis and others who were all associated with under-age girls in one guise or another, they were known to be with underage girls and it wasn't seen as a problem. Just famous people having the craic with young wans, as is their right.

I think this should be considered when asking why the woman took so long to come forward with the allegation. It wasn't seen as a problem for the famous man back then. We know from our own country that a young person making an allegation against a high status man was not usually taken seriously and didn't end well for the child.

They might also consider the allegations of grooming and threats of physical violence when considering why she might not have come forward until now. But let's be honest, the ones who ask why it took until now to make the allegation are usually not on the fence about whether it happened or not. They usually oppose metoo and are on the side that it didn't happen.

Being bound by honesty, I have to say I don't know if it happened, and all I can do it wait for the results of the investigation and court case,

This is not a question of how likeable or not the man or his lyrics are…….. going on about his contribution to music etc has 0 to do with whether he is innocent or guilty of the allegations.

this case aside, It is easy to see though, why so much goes unreported, it’s the pedestal these stars are put on that can make them seem untouchable and woe betide anyone who’d dare accuse them of anything, such is their popularity.
